LONDON — The United States has sanctioned and frozen the assets of Oleg Deripaska and UC Rusalthat are subject to US jurisdiction, prompting bullish sentiment and expectations of tightness in the US aluminium market, industry participants told Metal Bulletin.
“All assets subject to US jurisdiction of the designated individuals and entities, and of any other entities blocked by operation of law as a result of their ownership by a sanctioned party, are frozen, and US persons are generally prohibited from dealings with them. Additionally, non-US persons could face sanctions for knowingly facilitating significant transactions for or on behalf of the individuals or entities blocked today,” the US Department of the Treasury said on Friday April 6.
Rusal, one of the world’s largest aluminium producers, responsible for 7% of global aluminium production, was designated an oligarch-owned company by the Treasury Department on Friday. The Treasury designated Rusal stakeholder Viktor Vekselberg as an oligarch as well.
I am not from Alabama, but as I look over his entire career, I see a shrewd conservative and process-oriented legislator that plays the long-game better than anyone. There is nothing in his history that says otherwise. Did he all of a sudden change?
Up till now, he has played it perfectly, knowing that if everything wasn't above board in what will be a historical politically-charged prosecution, he needed to be above the fray and work on his timeline. Even with the angst of POTUS.
He knew he needed to get everyone in the kill zone.
I would not be surprised if he has several state AGs with standing, ready to file charges so that a future presidential pardon would be out of play.
